Just done this and it seems to work pretty well so far, apart from OSX's annoying habit of littering external drives with .files everywhere. One Pig installation to rule them all!

No major problems with mine so far, the coolest thing is I have a one touch backup button for flash drives on my NAS, so its mega easy to backup the sucker up.

Right, finally got round to ordering a micro usb drive thing (32GB) so I can have a go at doing this with my Mac and my Caanoo. I rather like the idea of keeping one sample library and just plugging into either my Mac or my portable depending on what I want to track with. Will report back...

I think its a testament to my mental illness how pleased I am with the above pic compared to say, finishing a song.

That is the sex.

On the Pi Rig:

So far i only tested it on OSX, and everything seems well on song creation and playback, but havent had a chance to test rendering.

Oh yeah that reminds me, I can't remember if it was an SD or a usb drive but I remember it running too slow to be usable in win32...

Oh for sure, just wanted to explain my methods cause it could seem overthought at first glance. I think another thing to consider is disk i/o, i think my usb stick is a lilll faster than even my fastest sd card.. helps when rendering on desktop platforms.

Well, I wasn't talking to you per se, since I know you has no dingoo.

"one"

Yea but im trying to avoid adapters and cables in my life. Also microsds are more expensive, and there seems to be a high failure rate on rasp pi sd slots, so Im just cutting all those guys out of my equations.

Well, micro sd usually don't break, just the adapters. but if you wanted to get real crazy, you could probably just stick everything on the SD then stick that in the dingoo and hook up the dingoo to the other devices and it'll show up as a usb drive....

GCWzero has a usb port too. In all ways sds are better except for the part where they are built like crap.

another SD pro would be you could also load dingux on it and run it on dingoo and (very likely) GCW Zero.

btw you could totally just do all this on a sd card and a card reader for the pi but I wanted to avoid that because:

-sd cards fall apart quickly when you are pulling them out and putting them in something multiple times a week
- a usb stick doesnt require any reader or cables to hook up to device
-look how small it is!

Also im loading a backup of the pi image on the usb stick as well as a copy of audacity and reaper to handle renders.
